Not only does Pixar create amazing films, but the short films that proceed the features are just as entertaining. The shorts are magical pieces of storytelling that put together on one DVD makes it an easy way to watch all of them easily.

That’s right these have all been released before, but in order to watch them you need to pull out all of the latest Pixar films, watch one, remove it from the player, and insert another. You also have to find a way to skip the Disney trailers and commercials. I also have to wonder who really wants to admit they own Cars 2?

Gods or Deities, have always played a part in movie culture (oh and books!). Whether you believe in a God or not, the concept of a being that is worshipped is depicted in many different forms. Some depictions are of the Christian GOD. Other’s are supernatural or just objects. Of course you can’t overlook the fact that some don’t believe in anything. I’m not here to judge! Obviously religion is a touchy subject. Not everybody will enjoy this list. Trying to stay away from a religious discussion, here are the Essential Seven Movie Gods:

Beginning with Toy Story in 1995 Pixar has released some of the most wondrous animation. The films have pushed the limits of computer animation without sacrificing good story telling. Toy Story, Cars, Monsters Inc., UP, and Wall-E are just a few examples of Pixar’s accomplishments. With Toy Story 3 opening in theaters, I take a look back at the Essential Seven Pixar Moments:

On the new Disney Pixar Toy Story and Toy Story 2 Blu-ray DVD’s are a collection of Pixar Studio Stories. Here is one of the stories where they discuss how they almost lost all of the Toy Story 2 footage.

Fifteen years ago (yeah 1995 was that long ago) Toy Story debuted in theaters, and introduced us to the future of animation. After, its release a slew of “Pixar copy cats” filled theaters. None of theses copy cats could compete with Pixar. I’m not talking about the animation, I’m referring to the story. That is what makes Pixar successful, the stories. Toy Story is still captivating. Now with Toy Story 3 hitting theaters this summer, we finally get Toy Story and Toy Story 2 on Blu Ray.

Our good friend Joe Meno fromBrick Journal gave me permission to post his San Diego Comic Con photos. You can see some great photos of the LEGO Toy Story and Prince of Persia toys. Joe also got some great shots of various cosplay, displays, and of course some new toys. When you get a chance check out the Brick Journal Magazine. Photos after the jump:
